Hello, I had gastric sleeve 10/17/22 and I’m feeling defeated. Let me start off by saying I have been preparing myself for this surgery for almost a year. I started my pre op diet 4 weeks before my surgery and lost 20lbs, then had a 2 day liquid diet. My sw was 286.8 and day of surgery it was 268.8.
my surgery went great and when I got home I weighed 269.0 but I figured that I was swollen and still really gassy from surgery.
that’s not my problem though. I’m SO hungry. My post op diet consists of 1 week clear liquid, 1 week of thicker liquids, then onto purée. Well pretty much since I got home I’ve been eating creamy soups as I just couldn’t tolerate the broth any longer. I am so sick of broth I can’t stand it. And even worse tonight I snuck a couple pieces of elbow macaroni. I tolerated it just fine but I’m scared I’m just going to eat like I did before. I even ate a couple spoons of mashed potatoes last night. I know I’m not supposed to but my mind is lying to me telling me I’m starving.
I’m not looking to get lectured…maybe just some advice.
